In the VM's Kernel representation, introduce wrapper classes for
string and name indexes so it is obvious which one is which. For
convenience there is an implicit conversion so that they can each be
used where an int is allowed. However, there is no implicit
conversion _to_ either of these types.

The canonical name table is copied into a typed data array in the VM's
heap. The encoding is the same as in the binary except that the
integer indexes are fixed-size.
Canonical names are now integer indexes instead of objects allocated
in the C++ heap.

Copy the Kernel string offsets into a uint32 array in the VM's heap.
This avoids allocating small string objects with new and avoids having
a table of the canonical strings.
Instead of an offset and a size, strings are now represented as
indexes into the string table in the heap. The start offset of string
N is found at byte offset N*4 because it is a uint32, and the end
offset is found at byte offset (N+1)*4. The strings themselves are
just integer indexes instead of pointers.
In the stream flow graph builder, string access is all random access.

Instead of a list of strings given by their length and UTF-8 encoding,
restructure the string table to consist of a list of string ending
offsets followed by a blob of UTF-8 encoded strings without lengths.
This is a step toward copying the string blob into the VM's heap and
building a heap-allocated structure to give random access to them.
